It’s Still Democracy Even if You Have to Practice it Alone
Sarah Wildsmith braved Sunday’s cold winds to let her feelings be known about the recent slaying of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a veteran and mother of three, who was shot to death Jan. 7 by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross during a protest on a suburban Minneapolis street.
Good was unarmed when she was shot in her vehicle, apparently while trying to drive away from the area of unrest after initially taking part in an anti-ICE protest.
Wildsmith was displaying her sign near a strip mall along US. 64 at Murphy.
Opponents to President Trump’s immigration policies have called Good’s slaying a murder, but Trump has most recently suggested Good was killed for failing to be submissive enough towards the ICE officer. “At a very minimum, that woman was very, very disrespectful to law enforcement,” Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening.
A vigil for Good was also held in nearby Hayesville, North Carolina.
